First Sunday of Christmas

December 29, 2013

Epiphany
is always observed on January 6, which usually falls on a weekday. Since
many church traditions that follow the lectionary do not have weekday
services, they observe Epiphany on either the Sunday before or, more
often, the Sunday following
January 6. The Readings for Epiphany
can replace the regular lectionary readings on either Sunday to observe
Epiphany.
